Chapter 105: Chapter 105: A Plan to Kill Two Birds with One Stone

Qianqian felt as if she had walked through Ghost Gate Pass.

The lake water was ice-cold, and after she fell in, she struggled to breathe, suspecting for a moment that she was already dead.

Amazingly, she didn’t know what exactly the Princess had stuffed into her mouth, but she was actually able to breathe underwater!

Her survival instinct allowed her to quickly master the method of breathing.

Afterwards, she swam along with Chu Qianli along the bottom of the lake.

This lake had a bottom that led outside the Duke Residence.

Having grown up here since she was young, Chu Qianli naturally knew this.

They swam and swam, without ever surfacing for air.

Because of this, the people of the Duke Residence all thought they were dead.

Indeed, who could stay at the bottom of a lake for so long without needing to breathe?

But at this moment, Chu Qianli and Qianqian had already left the Duke Residence far behind and had been walking through a small forest for a long time.

"Princess, this road is taking us further and further away. When exactly are you planning to go back?" Qianqian, exhausted from following the whole way, asked.

"Why should I go back?" If Chu Qianli, having finally escaped, thought of going back, she would be a fool.

Upon hearing this, Qianqian felt something was off.

She panicked, "Princess, Princess, what do you mean by this?"

The way she spoke sounded as though she had no intention of going back to find the Prince.

"It means nothing, I’m just tired. Let’s rest for a bit," Chu Qianli said.

Looking around and seeing they were far enough away, the people from the Duke Residence were probably unable to catch up with them now.

Only then did Chu Qianli stop and pat the clothes on her body.

Even though they were halfway dry, wearing them still felt very uncomfortable.

"Achoo!" Once they stopped, Qianqian immediately felt the cold, "Princess... um! Princess, what did you give me to eat?"

"Medicine to prevent a cold. Swallow it quickly, or you’re likely to catch a chill," she replied.

Chu Qianli also swallowed a Medicine Pill and then started to look around.

"Princess, we should hurry back," Qianqian said.

"Go back?" Chu Qianli turned her head to look at her, "Are you stupid? If we go back now, will Chu Hongtao’s people let us off?"

"We can go back to the Prince, the Prince will protect you, Princess!"

Qianqian hadn’t expected the people from the Duke Residence to be so outrageously over-the-top!

This truly redefined her understanding of the word ’family’!

"Do you really think your Prince will protect me? If he were willing to protect me, he wouldn’t have used being drunk as an excuse to leave."

"The Prince truly can’t hold his liquor; Princess, you’ve misunderstood him!" Qianqian insisted that she must explain, "The Prince has lived on the battlefield for years. Only this year has the border been slightly more peaceful, prompting the Prince to return to Imperial City."

"The Prince rarely drinks. His alcohol tolerance really is poor; he didn’t pretend to be drunk and leave."

As Chu Qianli was about to pick up a blanket, her hand paused for a moment.

Back then, she had seen Yexuan, his eyes hazy and confused; it seemed he genuinely was intoxicated.

"Nevermind, whether it’s a misunderstanding or not, I’ve finally escaped and I am definitely not going back."

If it weren’t for discovering this plan that killed two birds with one stone, would those guards of Chu Hongtao have forced her to "jump into the lake to commit suicide"?

Now it was best to let Yexuan think she had drowned after a misstep into the lake, and to not seek her out again.

From now on, she could live a carefree and comfortable life outside.

"Qianqian, you will follow me from now on and not go back. I will take care of you."

That would save her from going back and reporting to Yexuan that she was still alive.

Qianqian’s shoulders slumped, "Princess, you don’t know how dangerous it is out there. You, who have been accustomed to luxury, can hardly fend for yourself, how are you going to support me?"

But Chu Qianli simply shrugged and smiled: "Really? Then take a look at what this is?"
